In the final part of Keith Hufnagel’s Epicly Later’d episode, Keith juggles the responsibilities of pro skating and starting HUF, the brand that began as a backup plan, but took on a life of its own. He also looks back on some of the people who helped him most over the course of his career, and begins to do the same for the next generation of skaters. After you watch this episode it’s easy to understand that we need more skaters involved in running the core business of skateboarding. Cheers HUF!
